Editor: That is enough Michigan pictures. None of your subscribers cares anything about seeing
those. I don’t want to hear that this is Big Ten land, as that still holds no credence for putting
those jerks in the paper.

It almost seems like you are trying to appease a small Michigan contingent locally.

I’m not some fringe maniac or nutcase, but I sometimes wonder who at your paper makes publishing
decisions. It is questionable sometimes.

— Ted Hamilton, Columbus

Ted: Try as I might, I can’t think of another Big Ten city in which even a fraction of the
denizens would object to photos being published of a member of the conference advancing to the
Final Four. In fact, I can’t even come up with another American city where such thoughts exist.
British soccer, maybe — now there’s some good company.

Sir: I can only wonder what the people in charge at Ohio State know about hockey. Their firing
of a fine coach, Mark Osiecki, is baffling.

Are they not aware that his team was poised for a breakout season? Can they possibly not know
that they were playing with a huge number of underclassmen and were only now getting the muscle to
play at the highest level?

OSU is not a storied program in which the school offers a coach great facilities, adoring fans
and fine tradition to be upheld. Quite the contrary, you can only offer the program a worthless
practice facility where you have the gall to make them compete in their playoff games!

I can only hope that every player bails to somewhere else and every available hockey coach
spurns their efforts to hire.

— Chuck Lawrie, Columbus

Chuck: Osiecki’s departure indeed was a surprise — there have been a few recently from that
university — but I can’t imagine Ohio State will have much trouble landing its next coach. It sure
seems true, though, that OSU is going to get that hockey facility built if it wants to build a
program with staying power.

Editor: The spring game is over. That was the toughest game on the schedule. On to an easy
undefeated season.

Put it this way: If Boise State played Ohio State’s schedule this year, they wouldn’t get a
sniff at the national championship.

— Fred Haefner, Hilliard

Fred: There’s no such thing as an “easy” undefeated season, but that OSU slate does resemble
some fine goodies at a cupcake shop.

Mr. Stein: I promised myself I would not write you again concerning Tiger Woods, but with the
stupid decision last Friday by the all-powerful Masters gods, I had to break my promise.

What is it going to take for PGA officials and the media to break their worship of the almighty
Woods? With his lousy attitude and past indiscretions, he doesn’t deserve a mention, let alone Jim
Nantz devoting the first 12 minutes of CBS’ Saturday broadcast to him with no mention of any other
golfer.

Woods signed an incorrect scorecard. Disqualified — period!

— Sandy Whitten, Frankfort

Sandy: Now don’t let your dislike for the man cloud your judgment about right and wrong in the
case of the illegal drop. Anyway, I’m guessing you were happy he had those extra two strokes as you
watched the final round.
